青葉市子 (Ichiko Aoba)
Kikai Jikake no Uchuu (English Translation)
機械仕掛乃宇宙 / Clockwork Universe
Don't ever forget
I won't ever forget
Here in this town
Nothing but a row of cold
Mismatched stones
The vague sun casts a pale light
Over me
Known for being nameless, I am
Good for nothing
Scorned by all in town, I have lived
A lonely life
For those who have forgotten the
Morning light
Yet see my gaze fixed upon the sky
I am but a fraud
I am but a failure
I am but a fool
I am but an outcast
Times have been too dark
Time itself has been too dark
Til even the coming of dawn is forgotten
People voice only their discontent
And no longer speak of dreams
But you alone, alone in this town
Have not forgotten the light
As you bestow your smile upon me
Oh, my beloved
You with the darling smile
You have brought warmth and light
To the darkest places in my heart
If you could be by my side
If we could hold each other tight
I would need nothing else
My beloved
My beloved
Let me show you something
I, this useless fool, have built
It's taken everything I have in me —
A clockwork universe
Keep it a secret
No one must know
(Mercurius, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus, Neptunus)
Look, it's lurking quietly
In that dark corner of the dimly lit room
(Mercurius, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus, Neptunus)
Look at the sturdy frame of steel
The delicate gears
And the model of the stars
But no one must know
This secret is for the two of us alone
The clockwork universe keeps turning
Slowly, silently
How I wished those days would last forever
Since you've been gone
I have been an empty shell
Weeping ceaselessly
The universe has rusted over
And even the stars have lost their dreams
They bow their heads
(Mercurius, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus, Neptunus)
The clockwork universe keeps turning
